In February 2012, West Virginia University opened the $24.1 million, 64,000-square foot Basketball Practice Facility, allowing both the men’s and women’s programs to continue to reach new levels of success on and off the court, while honoring past achievement and tradition.

Split down the middle, the Basketball Practice Facility is symmetrical in that the men’s side is a mirror image of the women’s side. The only shared areas include the Hall of Traditions, a center conference room, the weight room, equipment room and training room. The facility was designed with easy access to each court from the locker rooms and athletic training room.

The facility, which is located West of the WVU Coliseum at the Red Gate, is equipped with:

Robinson/Petroplus Hall of Traditions

- Trophy and artifact cases that celebrate the history of men’s and women’s basketball incorporated with interactive touch screens, a theatre and displays to celebrate the timelines and history of each program

- Equipped with 15 lockers, which were modeled after LeBron James’ locker when he played with the Cleveland Cavs
- Each locker is equipped with its own power supply and a shoe tower that holds seven different pairs of shoes
- Players’ lounge with kitchenette suite, flat screen televisions with surround sound and computer stations
